June Fundraising Drive - Women's Leadership Initiative
We need your support to build strong female leadership in biathlon here in the U.S. and lead the global biathlon community!
The Women’s Leadership Initiative
Our 2030 goals are clear: Grow biathlon across our country; attract the most talented athletes to the sport; deliver sustainable Olympic medal-winning performances at every Games beginning in Antholz in 2026.
Achieving these goals requires building participation at the grassroots level, attracting top athletic talent, and delivering a world-class high-performance program. Inclusion and gender equality are paramount to success, and we are committed to providing opportunities and support for women athletes and sports professionals at all levels, from grassroots to elite high performance.
We are pursuing an initiative integral to our 2030 plan that will build strong and sustainable women’s leadership in biathlon. These are the core elements:
- Supporting world-class female coaching
- Identifying top female XC athletes and providing targeted, tailored and fully funded opportunities to pursue biathlon
- Athlete health and wellness
- Targeted outreach and promotion
- Mentoring and post-competition career support
We need your support to build strong female leadership in biathlon here in the U.S. and lead the global biathlon community!
Yes, I’d like to Support U.S. Biathlon’s Women’s Leadership Initiative!
